             Summary: Use Groovy AntBuilder to launch ant tasks through a web browser.
                 Key: OFBIZ-5394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5394
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: framework
    Affects Versions: SVN trunk, Release Branch 12.04, Release Branch 13.07
            Reporter: Gavin Mabie
             Fix For: SVN trunk


Some of the ant tasks in build.xml can be encapsulated in a groovy script using Groovy AntBuilder.  This provides the ability to use form widgets to pass parameters to ant.  For less technical users this can be a major help as they do not have to go through a console but can instead launch ant tasks through a user-friendly webinterface.  To start with I have enscapsulated the "create-component" task in a groovy script - CreateComponent.groovy. The best place for this enhancement seems to be the Webtools app.  To this end I have created a new menu item from the webtools app and named it Component Management.  I also added "ComponentScreens.xml and ComponentForms.xml".
